We Arabs are oppressed. When will we become like Europe? We can speak freely, criticize whoever we want, and choose whomever we want. Our word against the ruler will put you in prison for decades.

After condemning any turture or illegal executions anywhere anytime by anybody .. I think it is very important for "free journalism " to again put the cases where Syrian former authorities conducted dirty work demanded by "The free world" .They where torturing some people kidnapped by the CIA , and extracting information from them using the techniques CIA very aware of , then delivering results back to CIA- Central intelligence agency of the free and democratic world- .. Many reports and leaks described such cooperation . Reports mentioned similar cooperation with Jordan , Pakistan , Egypt , and others ..

Bunu yapanlar ruslar, Hristiyanist teröristlerdir ve Vahşice kadın, çocuk kafası keserek işledikleri soykırım suçlarının uluslararası ceza hukuku Mahkemeye sevk edilmesi gerekiyor ve soykırım suçu davası açılması gerekiyor. Tıpkı Almanyanın soykırım karşılığı Polonyaya verdiği toprak gibi hukuku olarak sömürücü ülkelerden toprak alınması gerekiyor. Trilyonlarca dolarlık altın, petrol, elmaslar için tazminat davası açılması lazımdır.

And now the Syrians are going to be damned, with the arrival of oil-thief England. Just look at what she did in South Africa, she established the apartheid syndrome to steal all the diamonds.

I have heard records of ppl in the prison beaten,abused, and tortured to disbelieve in god and worship and submit to bashar and say he is the only god and to worship him only not god ! They were making people leave islam to worship and submit to bashar al assad !
I hope people who hate islam and muslims and say bad things about islam and muslims all the time will kindly and respectfuly shut their mouthes after knowing that !

For me, Russia will not fight to establish itself in Syria! Here in Brazil we call gravel money! And the gravel that the Syrian leader will get will be less than 20% of what Zelensky is taking in buckets! Syrian riches will bleed, as England and European countries did to African peoples. Remember they need to maintain their lifestyles and do not tolerate their poor and immigrants living on their sidewalks!

I was very worried! I had a concern, after some repairs, I had two cold beers and counting on orange soda and vodka, a unique mixture in the heat, so I looked for my cell phone and turned on the light to find it, then I realized it was light, I went downstairs. To meet the postman, my afro-ancentral brother told him the events and he left smiling like all African people who feel safe and respected. I told you. – The two beers I drank in this sauna at 40 degrees Celsius had an effect. I called my regal sister, her name and Regina who was on the beach and let her know. – Go out because there are a lot of clouds and there will definitely be atmospheric discharges. Siru people, be careful with England and the United States, they steal!

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH:

The People's Revolution: Syria's Struggle for Freedom

Syria, the cradle of ancient civilizations and a crossroads of religions, has always been a land of diversity and resilience. Its history tells the story of a united people sharing a common heritage, burdened by foreign invasions and internal conflicts. In 2011, Syria reached a pivotal moment that reshaped its narrative: a revolution against decades of authoritarian rule under the Assad regime.

The Legacy of Tyranny

The Assad family came to power in 1970 when Hafez al-Assad seized control in a military coup. Over three decades, Hafez ruled Syria with an iron fist, establishing a system rooted in fear, surveillance, and brutal repression. In 2000, his son, Bashar al-Assad, assumed power, raising hopes for reform. Yet, those hopes quickly faded as Bashar continued the repressive policies that had stifled the Syrian people for decades.

The regime's methods became infamous for their brutality: torture chambers, forced disappearances, and a judiciary entirely subservient to the regime. Facilities like Saydnaya Prison became symbols of oppression, where thousands were tortured or executed without trial. The regime also engaged in human organ trafficking and the systematic rape of detainees, without any legal accountability.

The Spark of Revolution

In March 2011, inspired by the Arab Spring, peaceful protests began in the southern city of Daraa. Citizens demanded political reform, freedom, and an end to corruption. The regime responded with extreme violence, shooting protesters, arresting them, and subjecting them to torture. The uprising quickly spread across the country, fueled by decades of pent-up anger.

Syrians from all religious and ethnic backgrounds united in their demand for freedom. Muslims, Christians, Druze, Alawites, and others stood together, emphasizing that their struggle was not sectarian but fundamentally human. They chanted in unison: "The Syrian people are one," rejecting the regime's narrative that portrayed the revolution as a terrorist conspiracy.

War and the Weapons of Deception

The regime portrayed the revolution as a war against terrorism, exploiting global fears of extremism to justify its crimes. It bombed residential neighborhoods with barrel bombs, killing thousands indiscriminately. Reports of mass graves and atrocities, such as those committed at Saydnaya Prison, shocked the world. Yet, international powers hesitated to act, paralyzed by conflicting interests.

To fund his war, Bashar al-Assad turned to captagon drug trade, flooding the region with illicit narcotics. While cities burned and millions were displaced, the regime profited, transforming Syria into a hub for drug trafficking.

Leadership in Revolution

Mohammad al-Jolani emerged as a symbol of Syria’s popular revolution, leading the people's fight for freedom without aspiring to any political position. Jolani has repeatedly stated that he does not seek to become president but aims to rebuild a democratic civil state where the Syrian people can freely choose their leaders through fair elections.

Jolani, whose birth name is Ahmad al-Sharaa, is a Syrian from Damascus. Despite a deliberate smear campaign by certain media outlets due to past conflicts, his support spans various segments of society, including intellectuals, artists, merchants, and scholars—even former regime supporters who came to realize the catastrophe they were enduring. Meanwhile, the transitional government, despite immense economic challenges, has been achieving remarkable progress in serving the people and rebuilding Syria.

The Cost of Tyranny

Bashar al-Assad, his family, and his close officers have committed crimes beyond imagination. Over the years, they have killed more than 1.5 million people and displaced over 10 million, a tragedy widely documented by global media.

Contrary to the regime’s claims, Syrians did not flee due to terrorism but because of the crimes committed by the Assad family. These atrocities, rivaling the horrors of Hitler or Pharaoh, have destroyed Syria and uprooted its people.

The Voice of the People

Syrians have repeatedly asserted that their revolution is not a civil war but a struggle against a regime that betrayed its people. "We have no enmity with the world," said a resident of Damascus, "our only conflict is with Bashar al-Assad, who turned against his nation."

A Christian activist from Damascus added: "We are a people who want life, not death. Freedom, not chains. For 55 years, this family has ruled with iron and fire. But we, the Syrian people, have chosen our destiny. This is our revolution."

A Malicious Conspiracy

Many Syrians believe there is a deliberate effort to distort their image and label them as terrorists to justify oppression. Although the international community has welcomed millions of Syrian refugees, it has failed to address the root cause of their suffering: the Assad regime.

"This is not just our battle," explained a displaced Syrian academic. "It is a battle for humanity. If the world continues its silence, it becomes complicit in this dictator's crimes."

Hope Amid the Ruins

Despite immense suffering, Syrians have not lost hope. The transitional government formed by opposition forces represents a glimmer of hope, promising to hold the regime accountable for its crimes and to build a future founded on peace and coexistence.

"For those who doubt us, meet the families who have lost everything," said a merchant from Aleppo. "Talk to the teachers, artists, and traders. They will tell you that this revolution is ours—it is not imposed upon us."

A Call to Action

Please support our revolution because we want to live our lives. It is hard to see the world watching in silence. Our friends, we have not forgotten George Floyd, and we were among the first to stand against injustice. Now it is your turn to help and support our revolution. We are not terrorists; we are 25 million Syrians worldwide—doctors, engineers, and professionals. We represent 14 cultures and religions that have coexisted on this land for over a thousand years.

The Syrian people call on the world to investigate the crimes of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, from mass graves to torture and rape in its prisons. We demand justice, not revenge; peace, not endless war.

As a youth collective of Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Kurds from Damascus stated: "We are the nation of jasmine, the land of coexistence. This is not just Syria’s fight; it is a fight for humanity. Stand with us."
